[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hooover:
Yes, while Fresh ROMs have everything enabled it seems like a stock experience to me, I can't find a point in being rooted if I'm running a stock ROM. Basically I just don't understand how "Dev's" are putting up build (as of lately) and not listing the things that do not work.

+1 for Fresh (but to much of a "stock" feel for me)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechDagan:
I'm confused . . .

So you want a non-stock ROM that has Sense and works with all hardware but isn't too stock-like? If you want Sense but don't want a stock feel, what would you possibly like to see be different?

As to why root but maintain the user experience, the answer is simple: privileges. With root privileges available, their are several applications that can extend your device's functionality beyond what is possible without root.

For example, WiFi tether is considered an essential root-only app and allows the device to operate as a WiFi hotspot _without_ having to pay the ungodly prices carriers charge for the same service.

Another essential app is ClockworkMod/ROM Manager. ClockworkMod is a custom Recovery ROM (think of it as a Utility Partition) that most rooted Android phones use. ROM Manager is a Android app that gives you easy access to the recovery partition from within the standard Android shell. With ClockworkMod, you can create and restore _complete_ backups of your device, ROM and all installed apps, backup your WiMax keys, and even get OTA updates for certain custom ROMs.

Sans root, your device does only what your carrier says it can. With root, your device does whatever _you_ say it can.

Cheers.

yeah i us my laptop for hdmi. so i dont worry about it on my EVO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hooover:
Great point, I understand what you are saying about "root". It was a poor decision on my behalf to bring that into this discussion.

As far as what I'm looking for is just a simple ROM with everything working and some flashiness added in, but I want all my features to work to their full potential. On all AOSP ROMs it seems as if my camera isn't as good as the old 2.2 ROMs were. I haven't found a ROM out there that seems to take the quality pictures that the stock experience provides. I really like the 3.0 ROMs but they all have different functions that are not supported. Half of the Dev's do not even give a list of what is working and what isn't anymore. I'm just tired of trading flashiness for non working hardware, I have been in this forum for over a year and maybe it is just time I move on considering I rarely contribute. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hooover:
Lol...Total sarcasm...on the porn :D

I see you are running 1.7.22 (in your sig) I am as well how is Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC working out? I'm using an old GodMode kernel.

I use to run Koni elite- I might just give it a go...but only for a little bit because I like more up to date stuff....

I think what really has me on this trip is that I wish a ROM like Koni would come around with a carousel and the 3.0 lock screen...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Me too. Now, King's has a 2.1/3.0 Rom with the carousel, and it's themed, to, I think. I haven't followed the custom kernels, since source code was released, becasue I've been on MIUI for the last few weeks, but Tiamet on an AOSP Rom is great. I never thought I'd find one better than SavagedZen, but for me, it's been outstanding.

Hi all,

I've got a rooted Iconia on 3.1. I installed System App Remover from Market and I'm able to see all the Acer bloatware installed. I've removed several that are useless/take up space. [I know many of you recommend renaming them, but does that remove them from the App listing?]

But, I can't seem to find the nook app to delete it!?

Has anyone successfully deleted the Acer installed Nook app?
[Acer Iconia A500] janmic:
I used root explorer to delete it. The apk is located in system/vendor/app. If you have root explorer make sure to change to mount R/W.
[Acer Iconia A500] dj898:
but wouldn't this cause an issue with the update?

I heard if you are missing any of Acer files inc. bloatware apps the update will fail?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Quite possible - however it is quite a simple matter to keep backups and restore them when updating.

Or you can use an app like Titanium Backup, worth every penny and helps with this.
[Acer Iconia A500] janmic:
Well I don't know about OTA update, since I bought the Iconia tab I have never received an OTA update. Every time I check, I always get "your device is up to date." I was able to update from 4.010.11 to 4.010.13 with no problem (using one of the update package found here). It actually reinstalled the bloatware apps.

Hi!

Here we go with a BrowserMOD -inspired in the work of steven1811 in SGS1- with the possibility to change the user agent, select the font size, full screen mode enabled by default and up to 16 tabs.

Cause I can't do the mod for each version and build a deodexed -odexed version, I've decided to build two generic deodexed versions.

There are two possibilities. One browser with glow overscroll effect based in 2.3.6 (XWKK5) stock browser and one with bounce overscroll effect but based in 2.3.4 browser. Unless someone report problems with a specific rom, both shoulb be compatible with all 2.3.x sammy roms.

Installation:

-> Download your prefered mod version (Mr. Obvious approval this point)

-> Remember that zips are not flashable via recovery.

-> Make a backup of your /system/app/Browser.apk and Browser.odex (if exists) and delete them.

-> Unzip and copy&paste Browser.apk in /system/app

If there's problems: reboot, delete dalvik-cache and/or set the correct permissions in Browser.apk (644 or rw-r--r--).

I know how to compile and decompile APKs, but I dont see how I can use that diff file with WinMerge considering I am running windows. I dont suppose its as easy as "just" loading the original file and then just telling it to implement the diff changes ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] intronauta:
I've reuploaded sources, a little bit more "easy" to see the changes now.

You can apply the changes "manually". It' s very simple, lines that start with "+" are new lines and with "-" the opposite.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] intronauta:
It's a mistery. There's versions with useragent option available (for example KE3) and others without the "pref_change_view_mode_values" or "pref_development_ua_choices" in arrays.xml.

To maintain a standardized method, I prefer to use a custom code independently of the version. I get fewer headaches :P
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MeX_DK:
so the things denoted with + needs to be added to the browser.apk while the - ones just has to be ignored right. Isnt there some easy way to use another tool to "merely" automate the merging of the changes >_>?

And yes, glow effect sucks!

Well, I've rethought how to work with this mod and I've simplified the process. Now are only two version. One based in 2.3.4 and bounce effect and other based in 2.3.6-XWKK5 with glow effect.

Both are deodexed

and compatible with all 2.3.x sammy versions (odex or deodexed).

I've cleaned a little bit the code, added 5 user agents (android 2.3.6, Chrome, IE, Iphone, Ipad), unlocked until 16 tabs (pending for some time).

Added screenshots and updated sources too, of course.

Redownload the new sources in OP and start from scratch again, I think that now is "easier"

Does it works with stock odex kk5 too?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
Good work

It should.

I can confirm it works great. However, after placing the modded Browser.apk you also need to copy the Browser.odex file (the old one) under /system/apps. If you don't copy it browser will exit by itself. Maybe this should be mentioned in the installation guide in OP.

I like this Mod, the Stock browser is no match for others, just three things are needed to make it perfect, 1- An Exit option, 2- Support for all types of files download and 3- Full screen, this ;)

So thanks a lot for making this mod, I am really glad.

BTW- I forgot to take backup of stock browser.apk, can anyone please upload it for me? TIA.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] intronauta:
I don't understand how you can get the mod if you keep your old Browser.odex :confused:

browser.odex=classes.dex . If the system detect a Browser.odex, classes.dex inside the deodexed apk will be ignored and the mod will not be applied. If not, the system will look into the apk for classes.dex

About future features, yes, solve the problem with unsupported downloads would be nice. The exit button for me are not than important, the memory management kill Browser quickly if there is no enough memory, but if I have time i'll take a look
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pesho00:
Great work!!!

It realy solves some serious issues i had with some sytes.

Thank's
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
I don't know, I am not an expert in these stuffs. But I can say until I had copied the old browser.odex into /system/apps, the browser kept closing on it's own. Yes, I tried set permission to rw--r--r and also wiped Dalvik before, but neither worked. The Mod is working perfectly fine till now.

And I'd really appreciate if you can upload the stock browser.apk, in case I need it any time further.

TIA.

PS: Attached Stock Browser.apk+odex.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] intronauta:
Can you upload your actual Browser.apk and Browser.odex? Are you in stock XWKK5 rom?

I have the original KK5 odexed browser ... but I don't know where :P I'll look for it
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
I can't upload my stock browser.apk as I've deleted it before taking a backup. I am uploading the browser.odex file. I am on XWKL1.

PS- Attached Stock broswer.apk and odex.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] intronauta:
I think this it's caused by using the old Browser.odex mod in your system. Some features are missed. Really, you should remove your browser.odex and if you still have problems with FC or chrashes, try with the ODEXME apk and odex the deodexed Browser.apk.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sianzb0i:
im running on stock rooted DXKL3. I had to remove both the original .apk and .odex files for it to work. And now i go back into /system/app, its only running on the .apk alone. the .odex file is no more there (i thought it would regenerate).

Is this normal and will it affect performance?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] intronauta:
This string is used by the default stock browser and not by the Browser mod.

Are you removed Browser.odex? You must backup&delete Browser.apk and Browser.odex and then add the BrowserMOD apk. (See instructions in op)

Don't worry about that. If you want and you are in a odexed rom, you can reodex the apk (there's some methods to do it) but isn't necessary. The system can handle without problems deodexed apks in a odexed framework.

Sorry, I can't test in LA4, but you can build the BrowserMOD by yourself :o
